Momma’s Pantry Farm Stand 🍞🥗 :

I planted marigolds every other plant and alternated the pattern between rows last year. Hands down the best pest control year I’ve ever had!!!! Can’t wait to do it again!!!

🍓 :

my marigolds were over 4ft tall idk what kind they were 😂

Kylee :

I plan on going all the way around the garden this year!

Mykayla :

How do you keep your marigolds bushy? Mine went straight up tall and went viney and spines last year. They were beautiful but chaotic, I really would love for bushy ones this year like yours

Clementine & Sage & Starlight :

how can people afford this? 😭

meghaunprescott :

My mom lined our entire sidewalk with marigolds every summer growing up. I loved it and the smell of marigolds is so nostalgic for me.

🥰❤️ :

From seeds?

Judith :

I tried this and they grew over 3 feet and blocked everything behind it lol

kitty :

how much space do you leave between plants?

Lindsayyy :

I don’t know how anyone could have one single marigold. I tried planting one tiny seed here and there. Got an accidental second in a couple. Nothing crazy. My gosh, I had no idea how many flowers we would get from that. And they just kept growing and blooming. ❤️

ReggieVeggie :

and you never have to buy seeds more than once

Glorianna414 :

They just keep GIVING! All season

Only September :

Did you direct sow?

Hygge Haven | Garden Coach :

every year i plant more marigolds than the last bc every year there is never enough 🙃 😆

🥦 :

makes me think of the massive beds of marigolds at Topkapi Palace this past summer!!!!! 🧡

I intended a small marigold border in my garden last year and ended up with the kind of border you suggested. Those suckers bloomed all the way into January.

NorthernVirginiaStuff :

I am excited to see if my marigold sea will come to life this year!

Marymac25 :

Should I direct sow or seed trays?

The Flip Flop Farmer :

Same!

Jennifer Duvall :

How many plants should you plant in say 10ft? I just learned I should’ve topped them to be bushy. I want to start enough to go around my whole garden. Maybe. 😂

Chantell DeVore :

Yes!!

ShowalterHomeandForge :

Such a good idea!!

messybunhomestead :

i'm here for it!

Veronica :

Doing this year ! Planting all between plays and border of my property … and adding Hawaii and Kilimanjaro
